Daughters, After Marriage.. Are still Daughters..

I met her, long ago,
She was still wearing wedding bangles,
And sindoor on her forehead,
She was sitting in the garden,
And I just got there, by chance,
We talked for sometime,
She was looking nervous,
Looking worried,
Maybe was going to cry,
I got closer,
She put her head on my shoulder,
Began to sob,
'what happened?" ,
She began to cry,
I asked again,
" I want to meet them"
She said in her sobs,
" Meet who?" I asked,
"My parents!!" she shouted,
I was shocked,
There became a story in my mind,
What would have happened?
Why somebody can't visit her parents~?
What's the problem?
I wanted to ask her,
But she doesn't want to reveal much,
I kept quite,
She kept sobbing,
In her sobs,
She told that she was from a poor household,
And her in-laws are a blessing,
They took her without a dowry,
Dowry??
I was surprised,
I understood the plan,
I got everything,
She was under an obligation,
I wanted to do something,
Something for her Family,
I was too young,
Yet.. I understood,
A child's love,
For their parents is everything,
Mother's cry reach the child's ear.. the fastest,
A child,
Is a child,
Whether girl or boy,
Let them love their parents,
Like they want to,
Don't bind a woman in the marital shackles,
If you bind too hard,
One day,
She will let loose......

Mujhe koi viklang kehne se darta nhi, Haan hu me viklang, Par mere sapne apaahiz nahi Haan hu me viklang, Par mere iraade apaahiz nahi, Wo kehte h ki tum aise kyu chalti ho? Wo kehte h ki tum aise kyu bolti ho, Sawaal p saawal h . Jawaab deke thak chuki hu, Jaao baatado inko ki me inke liye jee ke thaak chuki hu, Padhti hu, sochti hu aur likhti hu me, Ab Yahi meri pehchan hai Na aurat hu na viklang hu, Ek lekhakika hu me..... Ab Yahi meri pehchan hai..

The Long Walk

Pulling up myself up the floor, I was 14.. when I learned to walk, Walking without support was a family dream, That I didn't thought could ever come true, I sat there.. wondering how could people walk.. without falling back?, I sat here.. there.. Everywhere because I couldn't walk, I used to believe that walking was a gift .. that God forgot to shower on me, So.. I learned to compensate... Compensate the lack of walking, As walking was an unachievable goal, For someone with 60% disability, To the sense of listening and observing, When a kid first learn to walk.. He wants to discover something new, So did I when you learn to observe, I observed how people treated me, Some with love and some with ignorance, I realize people see me differently, I realize that they don't see my thought process, They just see the physical me, Pulling up myself up the floor, I was 14.. when I learned to walk, I could then just see walls, Walls that I could hold on, To move

If they fell in love with a person with disability

This is just a observation, Maybe I did the same, Once upon a time, Glorified someone, Who is in Love, With the person with a disability, I was at fault, But now I understand, How wrong was it, We often do the same, To someone who's the better half of  a differently abled, We don't realize that, It's their Right, To have a regular relationship, To have fights, To get the time.. To understand each other, We don't realize, That we are wrong at our part, Why should we do that? Everyone has some broken pieces, That can't be glued, Yes, we can see an overt disability, But do we know, What's going on inside? All we are looking at the abled person helping a disabled, It's sacrifice in the eyes of the society, The abled person becomes a Hero, In the eyes of the society, We tell them, You are great, That you choose a differently abled, As a life partner, The abled person is often seen victimized, You are so brave, That you choose a
